Thanks guys

I love it!!! such a nice car to drive...

Its just had a full service,new exhaust,new EGR valve,new front Lambda,and recent Timing kit,new rear shocks....it drives great and im going to see hotel21 on Thursday for software updates and by what ive read on here it should make it drive even better.... :y

The EML light is on because of the new downpipe,but as there seems to be no solution to this i will need to live with it....although im going to see a company up here who do stainless steel exhausts to see if he can make me a downpipe which will include a Cat and a pre-Cat......this might solve the sensor issue...

The only other thing it needs is the rear doughnut bushes done! :(
(will stall that as long as possible to see what solution the guys on here come up with :y)

I want to finish the car off with some facelift Elite alloys,then i'll be happy!! ;D

It might be worth getting a price from a dealer for the alloys.

I had to replace a wheel on my CDX and only paid £100 + VAT for a brand new, genuine wheel. I think it took about three weeks for the wheel to arrive.

At least you know they are not damaged and haven't been in an accident.

I did think about that NN,but decided it would be too dear...

Say £500+ for the alloys then the same again for decent rubber....

Just takes it too far mate i think,i could nearly buy an early facelift Elite for that!!! ;D

Didn't realise Broocie could do software updates... Fancy doing mine too Broocie?? ::)

I guess I need to find some Elite alloys too seeing as my Elite only has the CDX versions.

Nice car Iain.   :y

I notice you've got headlight washers? The CD spec models didn't come with xenon's as standard and don't think I've ever seen one with them before. Did you fit a new bumper, add xenon's and the whole lot inc h/washers or did yours have xenon's from new? Intrigued :) I've always wondered why people never added xenon's as an option as they're just fantastic.

Standard on the CDX cost option on the CD,whoever bought mine new must have paid for them,
Personally i love the washers more than anything,just think it makes the front a whole lot different :y

Fair point! I'll be bringing the 3.2 Elite... although the 2.6 CDX could probably do with a once over on the Tech2 as well. 2.5 has now been sold so need to update my profile!
